Bluetooth Headset Switching using Today Plugin - General Topics

Does an application exist that will allow my WM device (Sony X1) to easily switch between mulitple paired headset / bluetooth devices.
I have my device paired with my car bluetooth kit, a A2DP headphones and an in-ear bluetooth handsfree device.
Each time I wish to use one of them I have to into Comms Manager etc ... so a today / homescreen plugin would be most useful
Cheers SB.

Help with blue tooth music streaming

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam
Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.

Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.
I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!
I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.
In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.
umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.

Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-903

I just bought Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-903. It is a very nice device which works perfectly with my Nokia phone as well as with HTC Diamond Touch. The difference is of course in the supported features for non-Nokia phones.
I just wonder if anybody knows about any application for Windows Mobile/HTC Touch which would use most of the BT headset.
Curently I cannot check e.g time, I cannot see the song tittles with HTC media player. Other functions work.
Second, I would like to know if Diamond can switch to e.g. vibrate only mode if paired with any headsets?
Thanks

Odd Concept- Using a phone as a BT headest for a computer.. With a wired headset.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I lost my BT headset I used for online gaming, yet I have a perfectly fine Fuze that works well with my Plantronics headset that I use for my xbox.
Is it possible to use the fuze as a rx/tx passthrough unit for a wired headset?
Basically:
Wired headset > Fuze with Bluetooth turned on > Fuze synched to computer with bluetooth > Chatting with wired headset through the Fuze's bluetooth in online games.
Not odd at all
I would also love thing like this
I think if the bluetooth software on the computer
support audio gateway
and the x1 show up as supporting audio gateway bluetooth profile
when one bound it
then one can pick the x1 as soundcard to be used
in audio settings in control panel in pc windows
and it should work
Well I am using Bluesoleil on my laptop with Bluetooth v1.2 which actually connects well even to my A2DP dongle with full stereo sound even if it is not v2. But when I browse the services of my Raphael, the comp shows only Dial-Up Networking, Object Push and PAN... no Advanced Audio or Headset. Maybe I would need to configure the raphael somehow?

After doing some research, it would definitely have to be added in by way of some third party app. There are only two or three phones out there that support this. Essentially, a deal was made to where phone manufactures wouldn't include the Advanced Audio or Headset profile in their phones.
I don't see why someone couldn't make a program for this though.
I have been looking to do this with other HTCs for more than a year.
So far I can only say it's not possible as it's not supported by the WM BT stack.

How to find out what Bluetooth device is connected

Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and some Gear4 BT headphones - these don't connect automatically as a wireless stereo device (other ones I've tried do) - no matter - I've knocked up a MortScript to automate the connection process.
I now have a new Bluetooth car kit, which supports audio streaming to my stereo (Blaupunkt - very nice). It also fails to autoconnect. So now I need to modify my script to deal with 2 devices.
Does anyone know where in the registry I can find out the device ID or name of the currently connected BT handsfree device? (the handsfree portion auto connects for both). Then I can use this info to force the stereo streaming connection for the desired device.
Thanks in advance,

WIndows Mobile and Bluetooth Handsfree - Contacts

Hi,
I have been using my Diamond with a standard bluetooth handsfree earpiece for some time, generally works really well.
I've recently changed cars and now have a ford stereo with built in bluetooth handsfree / voice commands.
The stereo can access the phonebook from the phone, but I have a fair few contacts, most of which I wont need day to day while in the car. Is there any software which can limit which contacts get sent to the headunit, ie via category?
The only software i've found is the JETware Hands-free Extension, but it doesnt seem to work and post on there forum mentions the BT stack used by the Diamond / Touch pro isnt compatible.
Thanks in advance
